A masked figure leaned forward, his voice a low whisper that sliced through the tension in the room.
"Are you really suggesting that our most skilled operative is nothing more than a Campbell plant?"
The Grand Overseer's smile was unsettling, devoid of warmth. "What I'm proposing is a test of her loyalty, one we must initiate immediately."
Raven's heart raced as her cell door hissed open, revealing two armored sentries.
Their faceless helmets scanned her with ominous crimson lasers, heightening the sense of dread in the air.

She remained motionless, defiance etched on her features. "What are the mission parameters?"

Raven's cyber-eye flared to life as she scanned the document,and froze in disbelief.
Arthur leaned closer, curiosity piqued. "Who's been assigned to her?"
